1Opinion of the Court
EBEL, Circuit Judge.
Defendant-Appellant Albert Otis Davis was convicted of one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), after he was stopped by police and found to be carrying a gun. Davis contends the district court should have suppressed the gun and his subsequent statements as the fruits of an unlawful detention because there was no reasonable suspicion to justify the investigative stop pursuant to which the gun was found. Exercising jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, we reverse.
